Teacher,
You have done a great job on the T55A. I like the way you weather it. The same method I used to base coated the entire kit with nato black. But I dun think about using Tamiya German Gray as the overall color. Your T55A looks great and I will use German Gray for the preshading color as well.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful kit and tips with fellow modelers.

Nice Russian T-55 ! Good use of the Black-Green as the base coat. I never thought of that. I was going to use MM Green Drab for mine, then lighten from there. Mine will be a Czech version, and will have a camo scheme as to opposed to a mono-tone. Like the way you dod the fuel lines on the external fuel sells. What did you use ? Your Decals look good as well. Are they kit decals or Dry Transfers ? Keep up the good work !
Cheers !
